Pride Events

Pride Month Social

Each year Arlington Gay & Lesbian Alliance (AGLA) hosts a Pride Month Social at Freddie’s Beach Bar & Restaurant to commemorate Stonewall. June 28th marks a historic day in the gay community.The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn, in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City. The demonstrations are frequently cited as the first instance in American history when people fought back against a government-sponsored system that persecuted sexual minorities, and they have become the defining event that marked the start of the gay rights movement in the United States and around the world.
